In: Biology
You are given a piece of eukaryotic DNA which is shown below /6 marks
5’- CACTCACCCGATTTTTGAATGGCCCTGATGAATCTCTGGTAA -3’
a) If this is the coding strand, what is the mRNA produced (label both the 3’ and 5’ ends)?
b) If this is the template strand, what is the mRNA produced (label both the 3’ and 5’ ends)?
c) Assuming that the DNA sequence above is the coding strand, predict the amino-acid sequence of the protein produced from the piece of mRNA using single letter codes. In your answer denote both the amino and carboxy ends of the protein.
